THE CAMPUS ECHO
PAGE SEVEN
FROM THE PRESIDENT'S DESK
By J. LeVonne Chambers
During the second week-end
in March, I had the opportunity
to participate in a committee
meeting at Atlanta University
to help plan a convention of
southern college students to dis
cuss racial problems. This com
mittee meeting was sponsored
by the YMCA and the National
Student Association. The con^
vention, to be sponsored by sev
eral church groups and the NSA,
promises to be one of the great
est steps taken by southern stu
dents to help ease the tension
that has been created by racial
integration.
It is discouraging, however,
to see one particular group take*
the lead in planning this con
vention when so many people
I will be affectedj
Iby racial inte-
Igration. I do nolj
I wish to discour--
I age this group,
I but hope to a-
I waken others to
I cooperate i
I solving a prob-
|lem which be-*
gan with the
Chambers landing of the
slaves in America.
I was very much impressed!
with the interest shown by stu
dents' at the committee meeting.
One can only be disheartened by
the lack of interest that North
Carolina College’s student body
seems to take in even discussingl
integration.
The problem of integration, as
discassed at the meeting, lies
not in being accepted in schools
and pnblic places by law, but
in attaining acceptance by the
citizens of communities and na
tions. To be accepted, one must
be intelligent enough to talk on
an equal level with his peers.
He must uphold standards which
are acceptable to him and to his
peers.
Are we students at North Car
olina College attempting to im
prove ourselves intelligently?
Are we interested in preparing
ourselves in our special fields to
successfully compete with others
who have for hundreds of years
had better facilities with which
to prepare themselves? Do we
take advantage of the programs

sponsored by the Forum and Ly
ceum Committee for our Intel-'
lectual development? Unfortxm-'
ately, the answer from the ma
jority of us is negative^
Why should we be intere^ed
in prowling through the library)
and_ doing., r^earch.. when the
college canteen, rails, and the
recreation rooms in the dormi
tories are more inviting places?
Why should we be interested in
attending.. 1 y c e u m_ programs
where culture abounds, when
the Jockos, the Que bops and
other popular groups hays, more
rhythm and their songs dif
ferent gyrations “send us?” Why
should we be interested in going
to a forum to listen for an hour
to a dry speech, when all that
the speaker talks about are the
challenges that face us in the
future, when our colleagues
have more interesting topics to
discuss on the block. This, fellow
students, seems to be our atti
tude toward education.
Maybe we are not interested
in integration. Maybe we are not
interested in competing with
anyone except our own race.
Perhaps we wish to shun the
responsibilities that will be
thrust upon us with complete in-^
tegration as we have attempted
to do here with our student self-
direction policy. I believe that
in the near future we will have
an integrated South. Responsi
bilities more demanding than
these we now face will confront
us then. We can lo longer sit
back and “dig” civilization as
it passes, but will have to com
pete with others who seem now
to possess more enthusiasm for
preparing themselves for survi
val. No longer can we establish
honorary socities for publicity,
be elected to an office for
“note,” or use our schools for
winter resorts.
Unless we take more interest
in our education and in our total
integrative development, we as
a race will be in worse condi
tions than we are at present. We
will still be the ditch diggers,
the house maids, the janitors,
and the window washers, be
cause we will be totally unpre
pared for top brass competition^
We must become' cognizant o£
the changing American society
that makes no distinction be
tween the individual, only his
ability to act and to produce.
We must take advantage of oxu*
